[0002] With the improvement and pursuit of people's quality of life, as well as concerns about the health and safety of ready-made powdered food products purchased on the market, people are more and more inclined to make and grind coffee, bean powder and other healthy foods by themselves; and in order to grind coffee beans, bean foods or other foods into powder so that they can be further brewed for drinking or prepared for consumption, a bean grinder (also called a grinder, a grinder) will be needed to grind them into powder. Existing desktop grinders collect the powder after grinding by installing and positioning the powder bin or powder bin bracket on the base, so that the powder collection inlet at the top of the powder bin in the powder bin or powder bin bracket is connected to the powder outlet of the grinder after grinding to collect the powder; however, the existing powder bin or powder bin bracket and base are usually limited to a one-to-one powder collection method product with one base product and one powder bin or one powder bin bracket, which is not conducive to reducing the R&D and manufacturing costs of companies in developing grinders with multiple powder collection modes, and is not conducive to improving the company's products. Cost-profit is not conducive to improving the market competitiveness of enterprises; in addition, the existing installation and positioning connection between the powder silo or powder silo bracket and the base is achieved by placing the bottom surface of the powder silo or the bottom surface of the powder silo bracket directly on the base, which is prone to accidental displacement during the use of collecting powder, thereby causing abnormal powder collection problems; or a positioning limit part is provided on the base at the bottom end of the powder silo or the bottom end of the powder silo bracket, so that the powder silo or the powder silo bracket is limited and positioned on the base to collect the powder after grinding. Although this can effectively limit the position, there is also a problem that the limiting operation is not flexible and convenient to use.

[0003] Patent No. ZL202120961290.1, published on January 4, 2022, discloses a coffee bean grinder, which relates to the field of coffee bean grinders and includes a grinder base, a mounting frame, a collection box, a motor, a mounting plate, a housing, a base mounting hole, a powder discharge pipe, a powder discharge seat, a bearing, a drive shaft, an outer grinder, an inner grinder, a middle seat, a gear plate, an adjustment group, a funnel, a funnel cover, a connecting hole, a mounting hole, a fixing hole, a heat dissipation slot, a placement hole, a positioning shaft, a positioning hole, and a fixing shaft. The grinder base is movably mounted with a mounting frame, the mounting frame is movably mounted with a motor, the motor is movably mounted with a mounting plate, and the mounting plate is fixedly mounted with a movably mounted housing. The utility model, through the provision of an adjustment group, can limit the falling of coffee beans when the coffee bean grinder is used to process coffee beans, thereby ensuring that the coffee bean grinder can evenly grind each portion of coffee beans, thereby ensuring the quality of the coffee bean powder processed by the coffee bean grinder. This solution uses a mounting rack installed on the base of the coffee grinder, and the collection box on the mounting rack also has the above-mentioned defects in the placement and use of the collection box. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the problems in existing desktop coffee bean grinders, such as a base that is usually only used in conjunction with a corresponding powder bin or powder bin bracket to collect powder, which is not conducive to reducing R&D and manufacturing costs, and the installation and positioning movable connection between the powder bin or powder bin bracket and the base is prone to accidental displacement, or the positioning and limiting operation is not simple, flexible and convenient, and is not easy to clean. The present invention provides a coffee bean grinder base positioning structure that can use powder collection components with different structures to collect powder after grinding, and can be flexibly matched with multiple collection methods. It is more convenient and quick to interchange modes, which is conducive to reducing R&D and manufacturing costs.

[0005] The specific technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a positioning structure for a bean grinder base, comprising a bean grinder base and a powder collection component mounted on the bean grinder base, characterized in that an easily detachable magnetic movable adsorption connection structure is employed at the corresponding contact points between the bean grinder base and the bottom end of the powder collection component; an upwardly extending protruding guide protrusion is provided on the upper end surface of the bean grinder base, and an upwardly extending recessed guide recess is provided on the bottom end surface of the powder collection component; the guide recess corresponds to the guide protrusion, and the inner concave circumferential wall of the guide recess is larger than the outer circumferential wall of the guide protrusion. This improves the simplicity, convenience, and effectiveness of the initial mutual guiding and positioning between the powder collection component and the bean grinder base. The same desktop bean grinder can use powder collection components of different structures for collecting the powder after grinding. Using magnetic attraction during interchangeable modes is more convenient and quick, which helps reduce R&D and manufacturing costs. The magnetic active attachment structure also makes the connection simple, convenient, and smooth, making cleaning and maintenance easier and keeping the grinder clean. It also allows for stable and reliable positioning of powder collection components with different structures and their connection to the base, making the positioning and limiting operation simple, flexible, and convenient. This also makes it easier to replace different powder collection components with more convenient, flexible, and reliable positioning and limiting operations, and the product's accessories are highly replaceable.

[0006] Preferably, the magnetic movable adsorption connection structure utilizes a permanent magnet in conjunction with a magnetically adsorbable material. Specifically, when a plurality of permanent magnets are disposed at the bottom of the powder collecting component, a plurality of magnetically adsorbable material members are disposed correspondingly on the grinder base to cooperate with the permanent magnets. Alternatively, when a plurality of permanent magnets are disposed at the grinder base, a plurality of magnetically adsorbable material members are disposed correspondingly on the bottom of the powder collecting component to cooperate with the permanent magnets. This improves the connection and positioning convenience, flexibility, reliability, and effectiveness of the magnetic movable adsorption connection structure.

[0007] Preferably, the magnetic movable adsorption connection structure adopts a mutually movable adsorption connection structure of oppositely charged magnets, with a plurality of magnets of opposite magnetic properties disposed at the contact position between the bottom end of the powder collecting component and the bean grinder base. That is, when a plurality of N-pole magnets with N poles facing downward are disposed at the bottom end of the powder collecting component, a plurality of S-pole magnets with S poles facing upward are correspondingly disposed at the bean grinder base; or, when a plurality of S-pole magnets with S poles facing downward are disposed at the bottom end of the powder collecting component, a plurality of N-pole magnets with N poles facing upward are correspondingly disposed at the bean grinder base. This improves the connection and positioning convenience, flexibility, reliability and effectiveness of the magnetic movable adsorption connection structure.

[0008] Preferably, the magnetically movable attachment structure employs an electromagnet-based attachment structure, i.e., a plurality of electromagnets are disposed in corresponding distributions on the grinder base, and a plurality of magnetically attachable members that can be attracted by the electromagnets are disposed at the contact points between the bottom of the powder collection member and the grinder base. This improves the convenience, flexibility, reliability, and effectiveness of the magnetically movable attachment structure.

[0009] Preferably, when a plurality of permanent magnets are distributed on the base of the grinder, the entire powder collecting component is made of a magnetically absorbable material that can be attracted by the permanent magnets, or the entire bottom of the powder collecting component is made of a magnetically absorbable material that can be attracted by the permanent magnets. This improves the connection and positioning convenience, flexibility, reliability and effectiveness of the magnetic movable adsorption connection structure.

[0010] Preferably, the magnetically adsorbable material is made of iron or nickel, which can be magnetically adsorbed, to increase the flexibility and diversity of the selection of the magnetically adsorbable material structure.

[0011] Preferably, the powder collecting component is a powder bin or a powder bin holder. When a powder bin holder is used, the powder bin holder is equipped with a powder collecting bin with or without a handle. This improves the interchangeability of the powder collecting component with various structures and collection methods, making collection more flexible and convenient, and increasing the interchangeability of product accessories, thereby reducing R&D costs.

The powder collection components can adopt a variety of collection methods such as powder bins or powder bin holders. It is more convenient and quick to use magnetic suction when performing interchangeable modes. The connection part of the magnetic movable adsorption connection structure is simple, convenient and flat, and is easier to clean and maintain, making it easier to keep the grinder clean. In addition, the magnetic adsorption fixing mode can also make the positioning and movable connection between the powder bin or powder bin holder and the base stable and reliable, and can also improve the simplicity, flexibility and convenience of the positioning limit operation. It also provides a more convenient, flexible and reliable positioning limit operation for replacing different powder bins or powder bin holders, which is simple, flexible and convenient to use.

A magnetic movable adsorption connection structure that is easily detachable is used at the contact position corresponding to the bottom end of the bean grinder base and the powder collecting component. The powder collecting component adopts a powder bin 40 (see Figure 4 、 Figure 5 The powder bin 40 is directly placed on the grinder base 20) or the powder bin support 30 (see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 In the structure shown, the powder hopper support 30 is arranged on the grinder base 20 so that the bottom end of the powder hopper support 30 contacts the top end of the grinder base 20. A powder hopper 40A with a handle or a powder hopper without a handle is placed on the powder hopper support 30. An easily detachable magnetic movable adsorption connection structure is used at the corresponding contact position where the bottom end of the powder hopper 40 or the bottom end of the powder hopper support 30 contacts the grinder base 20. The magnetic movable adsorption connection structure uses a magnetic movable adsorption connection structure that matches a permanent magnet with a magnetically adsorbable material. That is, a plurality of permanent magnets 50 are distributed on the grinder base (see Figure 2 ), a plurality of magnetically adsorbable material pieces 51 (see FIG. 2 ) are provided at the bottom of the powder bin or the bottom of the powder bin support to match the permanent magnet.
